Foil Business Cards

Product Description:

Foil printing is a process where heat and pressure is applied to a metallic paper to bond it with business cards for added flair. Gold, Silver & Cooper printing is a popular choice for entrepreneurs in need of a high-quality finish for their cards. Designs look absolutely elegant with foil business card printing. You can’t go wrong with any of our three foil color options. You can leave your business cards uncoated. But we highly recommend our silk-laminated coating which leaves a smooth, luxurious feel. With five size options, there will be a card that’s right for you. Adding spot UV to your foil stamped business cards will give them a high-end feel.

File Format:

Instant Online Proof:

Upload print-ready files at 300 dpi in CMYK color mode. All black & white artwork and/or images must be provided in grayscale color mode and get an Instant Online Proof. (Instant Online Proof is final and an additional proof will not be sent.) Images designed for the web typically cannot be used for printing as they have a low screen resolution of 72 dpi. Print images need to be created at 300 dpi or there will be a substantial drop in the image quality. e.g. 3.5"x 2" Business Card resolution: 300 dpi (1260 pixels x 735 pixels)

Files not built correctly may delay the order.

UV Coating:
UV coating is used to protect your cards. UV is a high-gloss lamination. UV coating improves the durability of the cards for a long periods of the time. It also make your card looks better. Ask us Free Samples mail to you and compare UV coating with Aqueous coating and Varnish. We're so confident that you will agree on the quality. Can not write or print on UV coating.

Aqueous Coating:
This finish is shiny and smooth, and is done in line flood coated on the press. It provides a high-gloss surface that deters dirt and fingerprints

ENVELOPES AND LETTERHEADS PAPER EFFECT IN COLOR.
Please note that because our letterhead and envelope paper stock is "uncoated", we recommend you not use colors with high color density. By this we mean dark colors (black, purple, blue, brown, etc). Dark colors tend to get soaked into the paper if their color values are too high. For best results, use light colors.

Color

CMYK Color ModeShort for Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black, and pronounced as separate letters. CMYK is a color model in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four process colors. CMYK is the standard color model used in offset printing for full-color documents. If we print cyan, magenta and yellow inks on white paper, they absorb the light shining on the page. Since our eyes receive no reflected light from the paper, we perceive black... in a perfect world! The printing world operates in subtractive color, or CMYK mode. In practice, printing subtractive inks may contain impurities that prevent them from absorbing light perfectly. They do a pretty good job with light colors, but when we add them all together, they produce a murkybrown rather than black. In order to get decent dark colors,
